One of the most admired and impressive palaces in India, Jahangir Mahal in Orchha is the brainchild of Raja Bir Singh Deo-1. Built between the years 1605 and 1626, in honour of Mughal emperor Jahangir, the decorative palace today occupies a distinct position in the chapters of Orchha's history. The confluence of Hindu and Islamic architectures reflected on its domes, rooms, gates, terrace and corridors is a living example of the harmony between two diverse religious communities, Hindus and Muslims.
